01

Getting registered

Start with the national residency route, then complete the padrón/alta for the municipality where you actually live. Padrón is not a TIE, NIE or EU registration.

Girona is separate from Salt. Barri Vell brings steps and visitor traffic; verify habitual versus seasonal contract and Catalan stressed-area rules.

02

Housing & costs

Establish whether the agreement is habitual-home or seasonal, who is authorised to let it and what every payment represents. Use Homes & costs for fianza, guarantees, rent in advance and agency mechanics.

View at the hours you will live there. Check cooling/heating, damp, noise, lift, internet, transport and the written inventory.

03

Where to look

Use these as places to investigate, not promises about price, safety or a particular home. Compare the actual address at the times you will use it.

Barri Vell

Compare the exact street, building, daily services, noise and journey; the neighborhood name is not a guarantee.

Mercadal & Eixample

Compare the exact street, building, daily services, noise and journey; the neighborhood name is not a guarantee.

Montilivi

Compare the exact street, building, daily services, noise and journey; the neighborhood name is not a guarantee.

Sant Narcís

Compare the exact street, building, daily services, noise and journey; the neighborhood name is not a guarantee.

04

Getting around

Girona is separate from Salt. Barri Vell brings steps and visitor traffic; verify habitual versus seasonal contract and Catalan stressed-area rules.

Map a normal morning and late return before choosing the address. Include the final walk and the fare product that covers each operator.

05

Healthcare

After establishing healthcare entitlement, use the responsible regional service and assigned primary-care centre. The health card is separate from padrón and immigration documents.

06

Schools & settling in

School admission is regional and depends on stage, year and address. Check ordinary and late-admission procedures, teaching languages, transport and meals before signing.
